  Hello, I'm new here

  by daveyJones in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been raised a witness, and i've been spoon-fed.

  all that stuff about 1914, no facial hair, and every other jw teaching that they talk about.

  i've been a bit disillusioned lately with the stuff i've found out about the society, with some research of my own and other research from sites or sources like these.

  i am curious.

  does anyone really believe the dateline show will make very many current dubs "wake up" and leave?

  do you think it will bring the organization down?

  this post is triggered by freepeace's post on alcoholic relationships.

  i'd like to share a story of a friend of mine with the hopes that you can provide some advice or insight.

  he knows i'm a part of this board and understands how much support/encouragement/advice i get here.

  i came here by chance...looking for none other than jw material:) i am currently studying with jw's and attend the kh but am not baptized, as are none of the members of my fam...yet.

  i've been studying for almost 4 years with the witnesses.

  i am confused...that's the simplest way of putting it.

  i was wondering today.

  what if the witnesses did not have a policy of disfellowshipping those that are apostates.

  what would the congregations be like?

  Prayers welcome but not neccessary

  by sweetone2377 in

  today i am leaving for ky, where my jw mother and step father reside.

  sometime during this hectic week, we are having a little meeting of our own with them.

  you see, my mother has repeatedly disregarded my wishes and have snuck my children to meetings (ages 2, & 3), taken them out in service, put them in direct contact with a paticular elder that we expressed several times that the kids were to be no where around, etc etc.

  Witnesses instructed not to harbor private ideas

  by cyberguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today's watchtower lesson instructs witnesses not to think for themselves when it comes to bible understanding:.

  augest 1, 2001, p. 14, par.

  first, since "oneness" is to be observed, a mature christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned.
